It seems like they’re the cookie that’s forgotten about, at least for us, anyway.
And I don’t know why I forget about them….Because every time I make them, they disappear just as fast as some of our other favorites.
Mmmmm…

I used all organic ingredients, but the recipe works the same either way. Enjoy!
Peanut Butter Cookies
Ingredients:
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature (If cold, place in bowl and microwave for 20 seconds.)
- 3/4 cup peanut butter
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Steps:
- In medium bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
- In mixer bowl, mix peanut butter, butter and sugars til well blended.
- Add in eggs, then vanilla.
- Add flour mixture in slowly and mix on medium speed til blended. If necessary, stop mixer, scrape the sides of bowl, and mix again.
- With a one-inch cookie scoop, place cookies on cookie sheet. Mash with fork dipped in sugar.
- Bake at 375 for 8 to 9 minutes. Cookies should be just starting to turn golden around the edges. Do not overbake.
- Let cookies cool on pan for several minutes. They lift right off the pan.
I’ve gotta say, I completely disagree with step #7 in the recipe: “Let cookies cool on pan for several minutes.”? That’s just wrong!
We’re very impatient at our house, and cookies don’t even make it to the cooling rack before they’re eaten. I’m gonna have to make these…and maybe add some chocolate too
Haha, Joy!! I read the first part of your comment and thought…”oh, she didn’t like the little extra crunchiness it gave them…which I LOVE!” But no. Y’all are like us. Four dozen cookies sounds like a lot, but they don’t last long! And yes ma’am – chocolate chips are a great add-in!
